In my personal experience. Mindfulness tends to highlight and emphasise parts of yourself. This is great for getting to the bottom of things with careful thought. It pairs VERY well with cognitive behavioural therapy and loving kindness practice. However, I can imagine that mindfulness on it's own, without any guidance on how to handle those things that come up could be devastating. If you dredge up anxiety, selfishness, hatred without knowing how to address those negative parts of yourself; you are not going to have a great time. However, keep in mind that selfishness is not always bad, and generosity is not always good. Both can be either healing or destructive in their own right.
